#SHOWBIZ: Hot FM's Keymi reveals scoliosis pain during AMT2025 awards
In a post on Threads, Keymi, 27, disclosed that she suffers from scoliosis, a spinal condition that made attending the event particularly difficult for her.
"I'm not sure if you've ever been pregnant, but I sincerely pray you never have to go through what I'm feeling now. I'm pregnant and have scoliosis. I sat in the hall for over two hours without getting up," she wrote.
Throughout the event, Keymi endured back pain and swollen legs, and she had to tightly hold her husband's hand just to get through it.
"When my name was announced, I tried to stand up quickly with my husband's help so I wouldn't disrupt the programme's flow. The pain from my spine down to my feet made me want to scream, which I usually do at home, but I stayed quiet and endured it."
She also spoke about the deeply personal experience of losing her first child and expressed gratitude for the blessings that followed.
"On stage, my voice was shaking. My mind went back to the hardships I faced, of losing my first child, then struggling to conceive again. I was emotional. I never imagined this moment would be such a big gift from God."
Keymi concluded her post with a prayer for the person who made the comment, wishing them good health and ease in all matters.
She was named the winner of the Proton X50 Superstar Choice award, receiving the Proton X50 vehicle in addition to the trophy.

Khairul Aming Addresses Contest Winner Announcement & Customers' Order Cancellations
Last week, content creator and entrepreneur Khairul Aming held a contest during the launch of his latest product, Rendang Nyet Berapi. According to the rules set by the influencer, the first 5 people to purchase 5 packets of the product would be selected as winners to join him on a trip to New Zealand. The launch livestream was deemed a success, achieving RM1.8 million in sales in less than 2 minutes. However, shortly after the broadcast, netizens claimed that many had cancelled their orders once the 5 winners were announced. This raised concerns about whether the cancellations would affect his business, with some questioning his decision not to wait a little longer before revealing the results. Here is what he had to say about those concerns: Yesterday (Monday, 11 August), Khairul Aming posted on Threads to address events following the launch livestream on TikTok. Regarding his decision not to wait a week to announce the winners, which would have prevented order cancellations, the entrepreneur explained that he did not want to deceive people, as that is not how he has conducted his business. 'If I had taken a week to announce the winners, it would raise suspicion that I had selected insiders or acquaintances rather than genuine customers. Furthermore, if I had waited for the packages to arrive at customers before announcing the winners, it might as well have been a lucky draw, which was not the contest I was holding. I wanted the fastest five people, so I announced them as soon as possible,' he stated. As for the order cancellations, the content creator said he was not bothered by them, adding that it is completely normal for all businesses. 'These things always happen during launches, and I am fine with it. They may need that money for something more important. The giveaways I do are simply to show my appreciation to genuine supporters,' he added. After sharing his statement, fans praised Khairul Aming for his honesty and appreciation of his customers. Others commended his business approach, saying that fellow entrepreneurs should follow his example. If it's one thing everyone can agree on, it's that Khairul Aming is definitely a very wise businessman, which explains his well-deserved level of success. Source: Threads

#SHOWBIZ: Hot FM's record-breaking Kinabalu campaign shines at APPIES Malaysia 2025
KUALA LUMPUR: Hot FM, a radio station under Media Prima Audio (MPA), has further strengthened its reputation for innovation by earning a Recognition Merit in the Best in Innovation category at APPIES Malaysia 2025. According to Berita Harian, the award was given for the station's groundbreaking 'Bekpes Hot Tawan Puncak Kinabalu' campaign, held in November last year. The campaign made history by successfully broadcasting live for 24 continuous hours from the summit of Mount Kinabalu — a feat officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) as the first of its kind in the country. The expedition, held between Nov 14 and 15 last year, featured presenters Khairy Jamaluddin (KJ), Johan, Fara, and AG, alongside expedition partners such as Datuk Muqharabbin Mokhtarrudin and Dr Hazwan Khair. Although Fara Fauzana had to stop at Laban Rata due to health reasons, the mission was completed with remarkable teamwork and camaraderie. The campaign achieved over 60 million total views, with 38 million views for the 24-hour live stream alone, as well as five million engagements across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. It also boosted tourism bookings for up to 10 months in advance. MPA Group Network Director, Shah Hayatudin, said the recognition proves Hot FM's ability to deliver high-impact experiences. "This is not just something you can hear, but also something you can see, feel, and remember," he said in a statement. Senior Content Director of Hot FM, Raja Khairil Idris Raja Aznan, described the APPIES Malaysia 2025 win as a symbol of fighting spirit and family values. "This is the foundation of Hot FM's relationship with its fans," he said. The campaign was supported by Kopi SUPER as the main sponsor, ANBOT as co-sponsor, Firefly as the official airline partner, and Amazing Borneo as the strategic partner. Its mission was to prove that Hot FM is more than just a radio station by taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Kinabalu while maintaining an uninterrupted live broadcast — showcasing both endurance and technical innovation. "As the first Malaysian radio station to take on such an extraordinary feat, Hot FM has reinforced its commitment to remain relevant and close to the hearts of listeners," said Raja Khairil. He added that the achievement reflected the team's spirit: "The perseverance and camaraderie of KJ, Johan, and AG in supporting Fara, who pushed herself to reach Laban Rata despite many challenges, is proof of their solidarity. These are the values Hot FM brings, standing by its fans no matter the situation. That's why Hot FM remains Malaysia's number one choice."

'40 videos for RM500' - M'sian content creator criticises low rates offered by companies
IN today's digital age, becoming a content creator may seem like an appealing and lucrative career path — but the reality can be far less glamorous. Recently, a beauty content creator took to social media to voice her frustrations after being offered meagre rates for time-consuming and labour-intensive projects, sparking a conversation about the exploitation and undervaluation of creative professionals in the local industry. 'These rates and payments are getting more and more ridiculous. 'I'm dying. I have so many bills to pay. It's getting hard to breathe these days,' she wrote in a Threads post. She claimed she was offered a shockingly low payment of RM500 for 40 videos, which works out to just RM12.50 per video. In another instance, the beauty content creator alleged that a client offered her only RM100 for a job that required an on-site visit, immediate social media postings, and a shoutout before the event. To make matters worse, another company allegedly offered her just RM50 for an 'urgent' talent shoot. Many were taken aback by these rates, noting that such offers persist largely because there are always content creators willing to accept them. Others pointed out that these types of content are far from easy to produce, as they require substantial time, effort, and creativity. 'It's because the market is already oversaturated. Everyone wants to be an influencer because it seems like an easy way to make money. So companies lowball hard because they know there will always be someone desperate enough to accept,' one user remarked. 'The market for creatives in Malaysia was always awful, but this is just insane. Perhaps it's better to pursue this part-time,' another user commented. 'I feel you. A company once asked if I could make 25 videos per month—and it was only RM50 per video,' shared a fellow content creator.
